Rabbi Tzvi Hirsch Heller (Rabbi Hirscheleh Charif) [1776 - 1835] remained close to his father-in-law's side in Jarosław, where he studied with great perseverance until his selection as rabbi of Brzesko, and in 1819 became rosh yeshiva in Brody. Following slander instigated by maskilim, he was forced to flee to Hungary. There, he transitioned into the role of rabbi and rosh yeshiva in Ungvar, where he taught many students, including his disciple Rabbi Shlomo Ganzfried, author of Kitzur Shulchan Aruch. Afterwards, he served as rabbi of Bonyhád, returned to serve as rabbi of Ungvar, and served as rabbi of Uzhhorod and Obuda until the end of his life. He authored Tiv Gittin, which the Chatam Sofer greatly appreciated and esteemed, as is evident from his letter to him (see Sh"ut Chatam Sofer Even HaEzer, responsa 94). And upon Rabbi Heller's arrival in Hungary, the Chatam Sofer wrote to large communities that "the great and illustrious genius of the generation came to our land, and blessed are the people who receive him." (Apiryon, 1927, 4, p. 348).
